How we build
Developmentlifecycle
The process behind the SKS ecosystem. Follow each stage from planning and modular development to testing, deployment, and maintenance.
01 / System planning
A web application for administration, system monitoring, AI resource management, and development tracking. Accessible in modern browsers on desktop, tablet, and mobile. Each authorised user sees only the functions for their role.
02 / Requirements11 modules
User Management
User accounts, departments, role assignment, project access
Dashboard
System overview, project status, AI usage, alerts
Project Management
Projects, milestones, owners, priorities, project status
Development Tracking
Progress updates, developer notes, completion %, issues, reviews
AI Model Gateway
Cloud models, local models, model routing, model access
Usage Control
AI usage, quotas, budgets, limits, cost tracking
System Monitoring
System health, AI services, performance, errors, alerts
Administration
System settings, AI settings, usage policies, configuration
Files & Documentation
Project files, documents, screenshots, version history
Integration & API
Connect Projects A–E, APIs, webhooks, external services

04 / Development stages
Stage 01
System Foundation
Next.js, React, TypeScript, project structure, and core APIs. This local checkout is the foundation. Supabase, Vercel, and Cloudflare R2 stay as later environments.
Stage 02
Authentication & User Management
Login, accounts, roles, permissions, and access control for the five control-center roles.
Stage 03
Dashboard & Project Management
Main dashboard, project records, milestones, status, and team assignment across the ecosystem.
Stage 04
Development Tracking
Developer updates, project progress, issues, and blockers.
Stage 05
AI Model Gateway & Usage Control
Cloud and local model connection, routing, usage tracking, quotas, and budgets.
Stage 06
Monitoring & Administration
System monitoring, alerts, logs, configuration, and administrative controls.
Stage 07
Integration & API
Connect Project 0 with Projects A–E and external services. Project E is the local SKS TECH desk.
Stage 08
System Integration & Stabilisation
Integrate all modules, resolve issues, and prepare the system for testing and deployment.
05 / Testing
Unit Testing
Authentication, user management, permissions, project functions, usage control, AI gateway, APIs, and store functions.
Integration Testing
Frontend and store, Project 0 to Projects A–E, local desk link for Project E, files, and notifications.
System Testing
Full user workflows, security, dashboard, project tracking, AI gateway, usage control, monitoring, and overall behaviour.
